Chelsea loanee Armando Broja scored his second goal for Southampton in his last three games during the 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace last night.
The 20-year-old has begun to establish himself as a regular first-team starter for the Saints in recent matches and fans on Twitter, who were watching the game at Selhurst Park yesterday, were seriously impressed by what they saw:
He is the future, he really is.

Broja is built like a traditional 9 with legitimately elite mobility. Great ball striking too, sky’s the limit.

Broja showed off some of his potential during a loan spell with Vitesse Arnhem last season when he scored 11 goals in 34 appearances for the Dutch Eredivisie side.
While it did take some time for him to settle at Southampton, he seems to have already supplanted £15m summer signing Adam Armstrong as the first choice number nine and it is not surprising, considering his ability.
Despite being an Albanian international, Broja was actually born in Slough and he has made his way up through all the age groups at Cobham. The striker is yet another success story from the academy.
